Getting back to your original question, in all seriousness: Have you found out why they went with the chemicals that they did. I mean, I doubt very seriously that the engineers involved in the evolution of the air bag said to each other one day: "You know guys - this pure nitrogen inflation gas works well, but it's too safe. We need to come up with some additonal components that will hurt people and make them sick." There had to be some technical reason that the other stuff was added - like maybe to make the proper firing more reliable, or more consistent over a very broad temperature range, or to prevent material deterioration - you know - something besides "Lets' make this dangerous for people". Usually when something that has some known downsides is incorporated, it's to gain an even greater benefit. IOW, have you found out what was wrong with using, say, pure nitrogen that prompted them to improve the operation of the air bags, or have you considered looking for that info.?

(i think this is genetic, as my family are well known for "round table arguments on saturday nights"). :-) maybe someone will find an article disputing this????? i am still looking for info.... i don't think anyone ever thinks "lets make this dangerous for people".. at least i hope not. linda > > Bill Putney > (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my > adddress with the letter 'x') > > > ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet > News==---- > http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 > Newsgroups > ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
